Reviews in Bloomsbury

My family and I enjoyed a tasty and hearty meal in this beautifully decorated restaurant. Besides the assortment of mezes, dips and veggies, the children loved the murals, each one hand-crafted we were told. The music added an extra pinch of Greek flavour, but the cuisine had already more than satisfied us. Definitely highly recommend to all.

Breakfasts at La Roma Bella is the way to go when I am on the run, or feeling lazy on a Sunday. Whether I’m in for a big English breakfast or just a cappuccino and brioche the taste is delectable, and the service top-notch. I highly recommend La Roma Bella. Sarah

Back in London I dined at Trattoria Verdi where the meat steak is always done as I ask. This time I also tried a pizza, the beefeater, that was terrific! The waitresses are excellent! Very good place! Hans

Yialousa’s Greek Taverna is a real oasis when me and my friends need a break from routine. The food is heavenly and the merry ambiance the Greek music and staff bring is the ticket for a great night out. Their beef cubes cooked in wine is just one of my favourite dishes. Me and my friends give Yialousa thumbs up for being second to none.

Il Fornello was the perfect choice of restaurant to enjoy good food with a friend I hadn’t seen in years. The service was excellent, and our meals were cooked to perfection. The next time I am hungry for great food and deep discussion, I will be sure to remember Il Fornello!

I really enjoyed my meal at Trattoria Verdi last week-end. The Sole and Salmon were so tastefully prepared and the waitresses so poised it made me feel royal. I will definitely introduce Trattoria Verdi to my friends and business partners.

La Roma Bella was our gastronomic answer when we visited the British Museum last week. A strong shot of espresso and warm croissants for us adults, and fresh OJ for the kids with the full English Breakfast they shared prepared us so well for the day’s excitement we returned for lunch! Thank you La Roma Bella for being there.

The meat at Yialousa is amazing! The chef really is a genius. This restaurant is homely and elegant. We were able to gorge ourselves on huge platters of food while having a classy dining experience. Wow!

High on my list of favourite London restaurants is Il Fornello. They carry an excellent wine list and cook their meat just as I ask. The staff is classy and engaging. I choose Il Fornello for special family and business dinners, it seems they can manage it all. Five stars from me for Il Fornello. D. Hoffmann

Two couples, we came early in the evening to Trattoria Verdi and spent almost the whole evening there. The food, service and atmosphere was so welcoming. We sat at a round table near the piano player. It was priced right and we got a free drink on the house.

The pizzas at Il Fornello are delicious. This is a venue really for fine dining, who would think the humble pizza could be such an art? We came here last week as a group from work. They found a cosy place forus at the back where we could feel at home. I rember trying the Parma ham, mexican, and the House, and two who are vegetarian enjoyed their pizzas too! The staff were very attentive and obliging.

Amazing! Five Stars! The food here was so fresh, so tasty, so divinely cooked. My partner chose the Rainbow Trout cooked with finesse, me the Chicken Pilaf, marinated for tender, succulent flavour. It all went down really well with their well-chosen house wine. The staff were friendly and cheerful. Reminded me of my trip to Mykonos last year. Tah!

Fantastic decoration, fantastic waitresses, fantastic quick and delicious bite. Me with my family first visited the British Museum and finished the day at this restaurant. We recommend it.

After a day of shopping in the centre of London, my visitors were so relieved to step into friendly, homely Trattoria Verdi to regenerate before returning to their nearby hotel. The warm, friendly welcome and super tasty and plentiful Italian fare left them ready for further adventures in our capital city.

My husband brought me to Trattoria Verdi to celebrate our wedding anniversary last week, and he made the right choice. The waitresses were very friendly and also discreet. On this important occasion we wanted Verdi’s supreme choice, fish and seafood dishes. For starters we shared the Scotch smoked salmon, and prawns cocktail and took an excellent sparkling wine to go with it, then for the main course along with the grilled Dover sole, and the fried calamari my husband enjoyed, we chose the Pinot Grigio. By coincidence, I am told, the pianist also played a couple of our favourite melodies. We chose treats from their dessert tray to conclude the meal. Indeed, the food, wine, ambiance and the service at Trattoria Verdi was all top notch. I am proud of my guy!

We attended this bar, and saw a member of staff pour around 5 litres of water over an innocent vulnerable girl, who ran into the toilet in tears.If you look around the internet you will see various reviews that talk about this pub having unreasonable manager with a unbelievable bad attitude.. But our experience is by far the worsted.At no point was there any regret as both the manager and barman found this hysterically funny.The manager told us he did this all the time and gets away with it. He boasts that he knows all the rules and is able to use physical violence against customers and be within the law.We suffered physical force and verbal abuse. And then was contacted by telephone by the landlady. Instead of trying to investigate, I found her to be even more aggregated.It is advised that there are lots of bars in London, where you can guaranteed a professional respect from the staff.Life is too short to use this public house.And to quote the manager, 'if you don't like it your can f@ck off'. It is good advice.Please use a different establishments instead.

Poppadom express restaurant is the best restaurant in London that I've eaten, even though I live an hour away from poppadom express, I go and eat their and feel good.

I have always admired how Greek food is seasoned, and I have to say Yialousa does this expertly. I recently spent an all-round fantastic evening dining there with a group of friends. The meat and vegetable dishes were fabulous, the wine top-notch, the servings very generous and the personnel very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning.
